When several agents share the same words but not quite the same business definitions, every component can work correctly while the system as a whole quietly starts to drift.
Giving applications and services a verifiable identity, independent of everything that keeps changing in their runtime environment — the second Zero Trust foundation of our projects.
At Alien6, we are experimenting with eBPF to make it one of the foundations of our application architecture: containing incidents, easing audits and preserving service continuity.
With Watchdog, Alien6's R&D explores how to measure, contain and improve the work of development agents without sacrificing quality or turning their governance into a surveillance system.
Passive and active reconnaissance techniques for mapping your own attack surface and identifying exposure vectors.
How to use cryptographic attestation to prevent supply chain attacks in CI/CD pipelines.
Why embedding strategy is the most underestimated architectural decision in RAG system design.
The four structural pathologies that cause most production RAG systems to underperform — and how to fix them.
An engineering framework for deciding between prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and RAG based on cost, latency, and quality trade-offs.
Five patterns observed in production-grade LLM systems for managing cost, latency, and reliability.
Why zero-trust cannot be purchased as a product, and what it actually requires architecturally.
How the Kubernetes operator pattern generalizes beyond stateful apps to encode any complex operational logic into the control plane.
